Rover V8 3.5 running problems

Post by ratrod504 »

Hi members... i have recently fitted a Rover 3.5 V8 into a car i have built.
The engine came from a Landrover and got SU carbs with the bowls underneath the carbs, never seen these before.

The problem i have is that engine starts first time everytime, runs for 10 seconds or so then stops. Seems to flood up. I have noticed the coil gets warm after several attempts of starting.

Anyone had these sort of symptoms before?

I have no choke on it and fuel is pumping up to carbs by electric pump.

I have tried different coils and the little white box near coil, and new leads.

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
